governor OF the state. If the letters of
Albert parsons, Adolph Fischer, George
Engel and Louis Lingg demanding uncon-
ditional release, or as they express it,
e1iberty or death" and protesting in the
strongest language against the mercy, or
communication of the sentence pronounced
against them, can be considered by the
petitioner pardon, could it be granted,
which might imply any guilt whatever, on
the part of either of them, would not be
such vindication as they demanded. Ex-
ecutve Intervention on the grounds in
sisted on by the four above named per-
sons could in no proper sense be deemed
an exercise of the constitutional power to
grant reprieves, commissions or pardons
unless based ON the belief ON my part of
their entire innocence of the crime of
which they stand convicted.
A careful consideration OF the evidence
In the record in the trial of the parties, as
well as OF all alleged and claimed for them
outside OF the record, has failed to pro-
duce on my mind any impression tending
to impeach the verdict of the jury or the
Judgment of the trial court or of the SUI
tpreme court affirming the guilt OF all
these parties.
Satisfied. though. as I am, of their
guilt, I am precluded from considering
the question OF Communication of the sem
fences of Albert r. Parsons, Adolph
Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lnga
to imprisonment in the penitentiary, as
they have really declared they will not
accept such Communication.
Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab and
August Spies unite in petition for ex-
ecutive clemency. Fielder and Schwab,
in addition, present supplementary petit
tons for communication of their sentences.
While, as said, above, I am satisfied of the
guilt of all the parties as found by the
verdict of the jury, which was sustained
by the judgement of the courts, most
careful consideration of the whole SUBJ
ject leads me to the conclusion that the
sentences of law as to;Samuel Fielder and
Michael Schwab may be modified as to
each of them, in the interest of humanity,
and without doing violence to the public
justice; and as to the said Samuel Fielden
and Michael Schwab the sentence is COM
mnted to Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for life.
AS to all the other named defendants,
I do not feel justified in interfering with
the sentence of the court. While I would
gladly have come to different conclusion
in regard to the sentence of the defend
ants August Spies, Adolph Fischer,
George Engel, Albert Parsons and Louis
Lingg, I regret to say that, resting under
the solemn obligation of my Office, have
been unable to do so.

YORK STATE Democracy is on top,
with 1900 votes between it's feet and
Colonel Fred Grant. In accounting for
the defeat of Grant, view should be had
of the heavy registration in Democratic
strongholds and of the light registration
in Republican strongholds, of the old
Grant & Ward firm and of the anti-pro-
hibition sentiment which caused many
German Republicans to vote with the
Democrats. All these and endless piles
of money more than offset the fame of
the son of his father.

RECEIVING The NEWS.
Heartrending Scenes in Cook County
Jail.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.--When the news of
the Communication of the sentences of Field
en- and Schwab was received at the. jail,
there was an extraordinary scene OF activ-
ity.
The news was sent to the relatives of all
the condemned men" and in short time
they began to arrive at the Jail. The first
of the women to arrive was Mrs. Schwab.
Soon after Schwab was brought from his
cell to the main Office. His wife. quickly
advanced to him, and, throwing her arms
around his neck, burst into tears. Schwab
returned her embrace in calm manner,
and soon the two were chatting quietly
together.
After Fthis, SpiesF and Fischer !were
brought from their cells and taken to the
Jail library. Engel was brought ito. the
private Office of Mr.. Folse. This.was for
the purpose of allowing the relatives to
take their last interview.
The first of the women toTarnve after
Mrs. Schwab was Miss Engel, the daugh-
ter of the condemned anarchist. When
the two met in the private Office there was
an outburst of grief, which it is impossible
to describe. Father and daughter chung
to each other and sobbed convuisively.
Their conversation was in German, and
listened to by only Deputy Oleson.
Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother Of
August. She had been waiting outside
for an hour and half. Her sobs cou Id
be heard through the corridors of the
building. She did not stay long in the
library with Ter son, and soon made her
exit. Mrs. Fischer was then admitted.
She went into the library, and her lament
atoms were heard above the tramp of the
deputies, who swarmed about the place.
But the browning scene of all was the
visit of Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife of
Spies. She was conducted to the library
by Deputy Oleson. As she 4 walked
through the main Office she betrayed no
emotion. The moment she saw August,
however, completely changed her de-
meanor. There was look, then gasp,
and in a trice the lovers were in each 9TH
ers' arm. "A curious bevy of reporters
and officers crowded up to the door Of the
library, but it was quickly shut by the
deputy. The interview between the pris-
oner and his beautiful devotee lasted near
ly half an hour. What actually tran
spired will never be known to the world,
but it was sufficient to bring glimmer
of tears to the eyes of the old deputy.
At six o'clock there was an influx Of
deputy sherifs to the jail, men who had
for years been serving civil writs, and not
bothering their heads about hanging,
came in. They all wear heavy overcoats,
and in the right hand pockets Of these
are bulky objects, which, to the eyes Of
the experienced were plainly revolvers.
Orders were given forbidding the entrance
of any one not connected with the press
or the sherif's office. Then some OF the
deputies went to supper and matters
quieted down.

judge of the superior court of Cook county
ILL.,, by majority of 1926. Gary pre-
sided over the court in which the anarch-
lists were tried. Captain Black, socialist,
who has been the chief in defending the
anarchists, was Gary's opponent. He re-
ceived 6,258 votes. Chicago seems, after
all, to be a law-and-order settlement.

Fischer, Engel, Spies and Parson
Executed.
Incidents of Their Last Hours.


This news is condensed from the Abb
lene Daily Gazette Extra Of Friday after
noon: Pending the execution, Thursday
nighs and Friday forenoon, many curious
phases of life were enacted. Spies fairly
.hooted at the beseechings of Rev. DR..
Bolton to be permitted to pray fof him.
Spiess frmness was astonishing. Parsons's
fortitude was the wonder of observers.
He sang "Annie Laurie" and then sang it
again. The collins were taken to the Jail
at 3:15 A. M At 6 A. NJ. 300 policemen,
armed with rifles, bayonets, revolvers and
full cartridge belts, were on duty at the
Jail. Cordons of police and numerous
other guards surrounded the entire block
in which the jal stands. Detectives out.
side the police lines mingled with the
crowd. At4A N. the four doomed men were
in the heaviest of slumbers. Other pris-
oners were 30 placed as not to be able to
witness glimpse of the execution. The
gallows is in the extreme east corner OF
the cell room. The death warrant of the
four prisoners was read by Sheriff Matson
at ii o'clock. At exactly 11:54 the four
anarchists were launched into eternity.
Spies weakened at last.

He who cannot in every woman find Something to love, I'm almost moved to say Merits the love of none of womankind. That's Q strong statement, but I'll let it stay, And to defend it here my self will bind. But lofty love of course we only may Give to our idols, am with you there, We worship only what to us seems rare. The ones who love us often seem as toys. But she who IS what nothing else can be, whose lightest look transforms all other joys, Whose memory ever wins our constancy, Whose peerless presence conquers and de-
 stroys
 All other thoughts-whose personality Cras shes through all md easily doth pass As might Krupp shot through a pane of
 glass,
 She is religion. if there's such thing; If man can worship sure we worship her. Then, if we can by any power bring Her soul to love us, we are as it were in Heaven or Eden. Neither pope nor king We then can envy. Do you not concur! But if one sided is our love, fear lis very summer will seem dark and dreaf. Yet live down sorrow, there's happiness You'll gain a joy that you could hardly guess By treating sorrow if not as jest, Yet not too earnest: Cherish the caress Yoltaire and Job like water drank up scorn, Go and do likewise when your heart is torn. Jour indiscretion Often serves us III When our deep plots do not" and this should
 teach us
 No priestiy pun or subtle sophist's skill Can fl x one fact that won't at last impeach us If we insist It fully fills the bill Can perfect truth even for one moment reach
 us?
 The suns straight rays even by the air are So seem all truths we ever taught or learned. Error forever and on every hand To poison hearts that gladly would be kind. How helpless, hopeless, upon earth we stand Our very vision doubtless makes us blind To higher thoughts, and what we best have
 planned May be most foolish when we turn our mind To other topics and to better reason, Yet mid all this some still find fiction pleas
 ing.
 O, Evil, Evil! wilt thou be my Good? Can at last to one and all reveal way by which thou mayst be understood And turned to aid all those who fear or feel! I cannot think that evil always should Exist as evil? Sorrow must conceal 1t seems to me, a higher grade of joy Than that which error doth on earth destroy
